Winter has set in in Mumbai, the mercury has dropped a few degrees, it’s just a wee bit chilly. TV actors are thoroughly enjoying this season.

When you think of winter, the scene you instantly
conjure up is of a snowy landscape, a cosy fireplace, warm woollen mittens and
mugs of hot chocolate. Mumbai, the city where shooting for TV shows happen,
however has a maritime climate with very mild winters. Nevertheless TV actors
are making the best of Mumbai winters as it's after all a very pleasant season
especially for outdoor shooting.

Winters are not too chilly in Mumbai, therefore it
is very pleasant to shoot outdoors. In summer and monsoon it's difficult to
step outdoors in the city. I am going for a winter vacation this year, most
probably to Istanbul.

I love dressing up in this beautiful season. As
winters in Mumbai are however not too cold, we can't unfortunately dress up the
way people of Paris and Delhi do during winters. Nevertheless it's slightly
chilly now in Mumbai so I love to wear jackets, scarves and nice leggings with
boots.

My skin gets very dry in winter, it is otherwise
oily. I wash my skin regularly and moisturize it too. In winter after all your
body craves for fats and carbohydrates, nevertheless I try to eat calorie free
food. I enjoy a cup of hot tea and coffee during winters and I also like to sip
on red wine.

I love the weather in Mumbai winters as it's just
too hot to shoot outdoors in summer. I have kept most of the winter clothes in
my wardrobe in my hometown in New Delhi. Nevertheless I have some jackets, good
mufflers and gloves which I use especially when I go home.

I love Delhi winters. The mornings are foggy and
you just can't see the sun. It's great to sit in the lawn in the tender winter
sunlight. At night it's fun sipping hot coffee by the winter bonfire. I love
having my mom's hot pakodas in this weather too.

I use a lip balm during winter to prevent my lips
from tearing off. Just in case my body gets too dry I use some body butter.

We unfortunately can't go for a winter vacation
this year. My wife Nisha and I are preparing for Nach Baliye; so both of us
just don't have the time. We even haven't had our honeymoon as yet- maybe we
could plan a winter honeymoon next year.

I am not a winter person at all. All I feel like
doing in winters is staying warmed up in the quilt all day. Having said this,
luckily I am shooting in the Mumbai where the winters are very pleasant hence
shooting is not that tough. What I love the most about winter is that the
nights are long. Though I badly need a vacation I just don't have the time for
one. So I will be enjoying winter locally in Mumbai.

I have a collection of trench coats which I love
wearing. I hardly get to wear them here but whenever I travel out of Mumbai in
winter you will generally find me wearing trench coat, jeans, boots and will
have my head covered in a muffler.

I cleanse my face after pack up from my shoot with
a medicated cleansing lotion followed by a fresh milk cream as my skin tends to
dry in winters. Once a week I compulsorily oil my hair and pamper it with a
herbal pack.

I am not a foodie so I do not have any specific
choice in winters. It totally depends on my mood.

Shooting in Mumbai winters will be pleasant for
anyone. Mumbai winters make the environment cooler and calmer. There are
however no harsh winters in the city, therefore I have no winter wardrobe. Nor
do I have a different beauty care regime in Mumbai. I wash my hair and skin
before bedtime all year round, that is it. I love having hot chocolate and
coffee in winters.

I like snowy winters. However you don't get that in
Mumbai. I am going out of the country for a winter vacation. However I don't
know exactly where as of now.

It is nicer to shoot in Mumbai in winters as it's
otherwise very humid all year round. Mumbai has almost the same climate all year
round. Maybe we may need a scarf or shawl in the end of December. I have bad
skin, I have to drink a lot of water to keep it hydrated. I have oily skin, I
do wash my skin regularly but I don't use much chemicals. I am not a morning
and night skin person at all, however I do use a sun screen.

I always like a hot cup of tea in winter. However I
enjoy eating something chilly too in winter. In fact I have had ice cream in
chilly Delhi winters too.

I love snowy places in winter. I will spend this
year end with my parents in Madhya Pradesh. The winter is quite chilly in
Madhya Pradesh, so I am quite looking forward to it.

I love shooting in winter. My winter wardrobe is
full of brightly coloured pashmina shawls, sweaters, overcoats and blazers. I
don't have any special skin and hair care regime during winters as my skin is
the best during this season. Otherwise, I have to take care of my skin all year
round. I love to have makki ka roti and sarso ka saag during winter. If time
permits then I would love to go for a year ending winter vacation.

I don't like shooting in winter as I am fond of
sunny weather and bright blue skies. I simply don't like cloudy days. I like to
wear mufflers, jackets and monkey caps in winter. I ensure that my skin is
moisturized in winter, so I drink a lot of water and apply skin cream too. I
also oil my hair.

I love to have honey in winter as it protects the
throat. I relish hot coffee, soups, pizzas and pastas in this beautiful season.
I am not going out of Mumbai this winter as I will be attending my cousin
brother's wedding.

I shoot indoors in winter; therefore shooting in
winter doesn't make much of a difference to me. I love to wear colourful
jackets, woollen clothes, and polo necked T-shirts in this weather. However as
I am in my show costume most of the time I really don't get much time to wear
the kind of winter wear I like.

My winter skin care regime isn't really different.
I have the same skin care regime all year round- that is cleansing and
moisturizing with a very good cream. My favourite brand is Bath and Body Works.

I like to have hot tea and pakodas in this weather.
My mom makes delicious pakodas. I also enjoy snuggling up in warm blankets in
winter.

India-forums.com hopes that all TV actors will have
a gala time this winter. The sun which usually pours relentlessly on Mumbai,
seems to somewhat turn its glaring face away from the city in winter, but never
ever deserts it. In fact the sunlight is sweetly caressing when it envelopes
Mumbai in the season. No wonder winter is such an ideal season for our TV
industry!

Let us love winter, for it is the spring of genius-
